But how do you get '''mydomain.com''' to point to your redbrick website?

			1. You should be able to configure your domain using a control panel on the registrar's website. You're looking to add either an "a" record or a "cname" record. You need to set the domain to resolve to '''vhost.redbrick.dcu.ie''' or '''136.206.15.61''' . That will make all traffic to it come to the Redbrick's webserver.

			1. Go onto your registrar's website and into the DNS panel. You should see an option of adding either a CNAME or A record for the domain. You have two options now:
			* Create an A record pointing '''@''' towards '''136.206.15.61'''
			* Create an CNAME record pointing '''@''' towards '''vhost.redbrick.dcu.ie'''
			You may also like to add a record for '''www'''. To do that, create a CNAME pointing '''www''' to '''mydomain.com'''

You need to set the domain to resolve to '''vhost.redbrick.dcu.ie''' or '''136.206.15.61''' . That will make all traffic to it come to the redbrick webserver.

	2. Once that traffic gets there, redbrick needs to know what to do with it. Send an email to webmaster@redbrick.dcu.ie or admins@redbrick.dcu.ie and ask them to add an entry to vhosts for '''www.mydomain.com'''.		2.

1. You should be able to configure your domain using a control panel on the registrar's website. You're looking to add either an "a" record or a "cname" record. You need to set the domain to resolve to '''vhost.redbrick.dcu.ie''' or '''136.206.15.61''' . That will make all traffic to it come to the redbrick webserver.
